You're invited!

What does Jesus rising from the dead have to do with your life right now? And what does it mean for life after this life? This Easter, discover why the resurrection isn’t just something that happened to Jesus — it’s an invitation to a whole new kind of life.

All Easter worship services are identical and available in person and online.

Please note that we will have a sensory-friendly service in the FirstKids 2-5 space on Saturday at 5pm, and an ASL interpreter will be available in the West Auditorium balcony during the Sunday 8am service.

FRIDAY, APRIL 3, 2026 FROM 6-8PM

Join us as we journey through the final 24 hours of Jesus’ life. This interactive, self-guided time of reflection invites you to slow down and engage the story of the cross through Scripture readings, guided prayer, communion, and worship. You’ll have space to reflect on Christ’s sacrifice and respond in gratitude and faith. Come and go at your convenience. This is a family-friendly event with engaging materials designed to help children understand the significance of Good Friday alongside their families. Prepare your heart for Easter as we remember the love and grace shown at the cross.
